Mar 6, 2009 Pours brownish copper with minimal head. Aroma is mostly citrus- grapefruit and orange with floral notes. Flavor is grassy, floral and resinous. Hop character is excellently prepared. Palate is thick and resinous with a bone dry finish. Excellent example of the style.

Mar 6, 2009 pours a beautiful transparent orange- gumwood color with small head. Aroms is excellent- a bunch of grapefruit, orange, lemon rind- quite nice. In the flavor the floral hops come to the extreme forefront. Has some biscuit and bread tones to add to the floral/grass idea, dry finish. Really really nice straight IPA, quite impressed.

Mar 5, 2009 Bottled. Good IPA but the flavours and mouthfeel were a little lighter than expected. Poured a clear bronze colour with a small off-white head and no lacing. Aroma was light, pineapple hops and some urea. Flavour is oily hops resin but it finishes realatively quick with no lingering aftertaste.

Mar 5, 2009 12 ounce bottle shared with my housemate. Pours a nice amber with a small white quickly dissipating head. Kind of weak smell but what Ic ould smel was delicious hops. The taste is somewhat sweet with some great hops finish. Awesome beer would buy again

Mar 5, 2009 Updated: Mar 23, 2009Man I was so pumped to try this and was very disappointed. Everything about it was just "weak" except the color. Faint, faded IPA aroma with a flavor that is anything but bitter and complex. A bit of a malt backbone with a bitter, but not an overly flavorful finish. Maybe a bad sixpack but overall a big let down for me. Not horrible, but not worth it for the price tag.

Mar 5, 2009 Gorgeous beer - clear golden amber with white head. Bright, hoppy, citrus aroma. Flavor starts off with some sweet malt, and quickly goes all hop. Fresh and perfect for early spring.

Mar 5, 2009 Tap at Bobbique. This golden/amber ale was a perfect pairing with sliced bbq brisket last night at the famed Bobbique of Patchogue , NY. My two pints had a sweet aroma coming from them and I would not have guessed it was an IPA from the taste that came next. Yes, it was hop-laden, but the body was different from the aggressive ones, such as with DFH and Stone. It was super easy to drink and I almost can’t wait to try the bottle version in comparison.

Mar 3, 2009 An appropriate name for this "imperial amber". (Gotta love these new beer styles.) If flavor and aroma hops and high-gravity beer is your bag, then this is a beer to add to your list. In addition to the malty sweetness and chewy hop flavor, the beer is a very pleasant amber color. Plenty of carbonation for such a stong brew adds to the hop aroma.
